GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Bachelor of Engineering
Subject Code: 3141008
Semester – IV
Subject Name: Microprocessor and Microcontroller

Type of course: Professional Core Course

Prerequisite: Digital System Design

Rationale:
The knowledge of microcontroller is very essential for a UG student of Electronics and Communication
Engineering as the world is migrating towards automation rapidly in each and every fields. The students
studying the subject are supposed to learn the architecture and programming of typical microcontroller.
Students will be taught the basic use of an assembly as well as embedded C programming environment to
control peripheral devices. Students will also understand the interfacing of various peripheral elements with
microcontroller to design an automated system. The course will cover introduction to basic 8085
microprocessor as well as AVR, 8-bit Microcontroller in detail with sufficient exposure to design an
embedded system.
